Chapter 636 A free favor?
July 4th is the Independence Day of the United States, which is equivalent to China’s National Day. When the plane landed at the airport, Lei Hao saw that Chicago had begun to have a strong festive atmosphere.
Flags, ribbons, slogans and other items are all available, and the people of the Windy City of Chicago are preparing for tomorrow's festival.
"I'll take you skydiving in the afternoon. I have membership in the Blue Sky Club." Qiu Yuting had lived in Chicago for several years and was very excited to return to her hometown. She started planning activities as soon as she got in the car.
Lei Hao's expression changed slightly. A man who rarely flew on airplanes was suddenly asked to skydive. It was a lie to say that he was not afraid, but besides being afraid, he also had some expectations in his heart.
It feels quite exciting to conquer the sky or something.
"Lei, I recommend you, a novice, to do tandem skydiving." Lei Hao and his wife came to Chicago to have fun and participate in the Independence Day celebration of the University of Chicago. The person in charge of receiving them happened to be Dr. Frank Jr.
Frank and his son also put some effort into the short-selling ATE project, but they gained a reputation that far exceeded their efforts. At this time, little Frank felt that no matter how he looked at Lei Hao, he liked it.
"I'm looking forward to it..." Lei Hao was about to say something, but the scene outside the window caught his attention.
A phalanx of dozens of people formed a parade to conduct a wave of face-brushing operations before Independence Day, but the slogans they held were not too friendly to foreigners such as Lei Hao.
"During Independence Day, populist ideas will be a little higher." Little Frank followed Lei Hao's gaze and looked over, with some embarrassment suddenly appearing on his face, and said: "Lei, don't worry, this is just a small group of people. "
"I hope so." Lei Hao shook his head, but he didn't say anything, he just felt a little uncomfortable.
Little Frank was right. During Independence Day, populist ideas surged in the United States. Just on the way from the airport to the hotel, Lei Hao saw several parades and demonstration parties. Those guys were full and had nothing to do. Not only does it criticize foreign countries, but the Americans themselves are also criticized.
As the world's second largest economy, China has conflicts of interest with the United States in many places, so it is naturally the first choice for targeting.
During the short journey, Lei Hao counted and found that there were probably no less than a hundred slogans targeting China on issues such as "Asia-Pacific", "South China Sea", and "Economy and Trade".
These are all political issues. Lei Hao has no ability to solve them. At most, he is just a little frustrated. However, being regarded as the number one enemy by other countries just proves that the status of the motherland is improving, and it seems to be a good thing.
The University of Chicago is rich, and it was founded by the Rockefeller family. It also has many energetic alumni. Needless to say, it is influential. People like Lei Hao are not even ranked first among the invited people. grade.
During the day, Lei Hao was taken by Qiu Yuting to visit several places in Chicago, and went skydiving by the way. But just as he thought, surrounded by bodyguards, and with money to help him, he wanted to enjoy the life of an ordinary person. It's unlikely.
There is at least one management staff who will guide you when entering the scenic spot, and you use a special passage. Even if you want to skydive, you have to reserve a certain area. Let’s have a meal. There are elites all around. It seems that suddenly, Lei Hao is no longer surrounded by people and people. Bottom contact channel.
"No wonder there are some bastard cases in history of not eating minced meat." Lei Hao felt a little confused. He returned to the hotel, washed up and changed clothes. He had to attend a party with Qiu Yuting.
"The University of Chicago has many connections with the Chinese. It has produced two world-class Chinese mathematicians. Wait a minute and you will see that there are many compatriots." Qiu Yuting put on an evening dress and exposed half of her back, looking very sexy. Seeing Lei Hao's gaze, she felt a little sweet in her heart.
July 4th is the highlight, and July 3rd is just to give many celebrity alumni a social occasion to attend.
But the rule in the United States is that as long as it is an upper-class gathering, there must be something charitable. Charity is politically correct here, and it is also a basic move to gain influence.
"A donates money to B's charity fund, and B donates money to A's charity fund in another place, and then the money goes through the process again, paying less tax, and everyone gains a reputation." Lei Hao said with a smile, "So there is no charity. People who own the fund will suffer a lot.”
"The Chinese have many charitable funds. We can just donate to the Children's Protection Fund of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The school does not hand over the hosting rights to specific charitable funds, but who takes the things for these funds and puts them up for auction, and the proceeds are that Fund." Qiu Yuting reminded.
Lei Hao rarely participated in these occasions. He must have only seen such scenes on TV since he was a child, so he would inevitably not understand the tricks involved.
Fortunately, Qiu Yuting was well aware of the various gathering procedures of the upper class in China and the West. With her by his side, Lei Hao could just follow the prompts.
"Mr. Lei? Haha, it's really you." Just as he got off the car, Lei Hao heard a voice not far away. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Huaqian.
Compared with the day before yesterday, when Wang Huaqian saw Lei Hao again, his enthusiasm was obviously higher, and his heart was also filled with emotions.
I had already underestimated Lei Hao very much. As the president of the China Finance Association, I didn't expect that this overestimation would actually turn out to be an underestimate for Lei Hao.
The Thunder Group could not account for the vast majority of Lei Hao's assets. This made Wang Huaqian, who read the Wall Street Journal, unable to conceal his horror.
"President Wang." Lei Hao stretched out his hand and shook it.
"Together?" Wang Huaqian extended the invitation with a sincere expression.
"It's an honor." Lei Hao said confidently.
Wang Huaqian did not bring a female companion, but Lei Hao did. The way the three of them walked was that Lei Hao was in the middle, Qiu Yuting held his arm on the right, and Wang Huaqian, the president of the China Finance Association, stood on the left, looking like is a secondary position.
The day before yesterday, Wang Huaqian would have been murmuring in his heart, and he would not have had the attitude to invite Lei Hao to go with him, but now, he is very satisfied with this opportunity to communicate first.
"I read the article in the Wall Street Journal," Wang Huaqian found a topic and praised: "It's very good. It promotes the prestige of China."
"Ahem, it's just a normal investment." Lei Hao almost choked on the other party's words, and said with a strange expression: "Not that high-end."
"No, the success of the Chinese is China's success. Mr. Lei has done a great job for our China Financial Association." Wang Huaqian shook his head and said with some emotion.
"Since Tiger has brought glory to China's financial circle, Chairman Wang can help us ask why Yingyi's resumption of trading is still stuck in the final review?" Qiu Yuting followed the words and asked for benefits.
The Financial Association does not have the power of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, but it does have some contacts. When Wang Huaqian heard this, he just looked at Qiu Yuting with a smile, nodded and said: "The association should do a good job of communicating between members and regulatory authorities. I will call and ask tonight."
"Is this okay?" Lei Hao instantly felt that it was too childish.
There are several reasons why Yingyi's resumption of trading was stuck by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, including issues such as financial disclosure and determination of restricted shares. Lei Hao knew that these issues required Qiu Yuting to return to China to do work. Now that Wang Huaqian has spoken, he will save at least ten dollars. Days and half a month.
But... why should Wang Huaqian sell favors?
Lei Hao doesn't understand, but he will understand soon.
